A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent gently patted his back and comforted him in a low voice.

“Lucas, if you want Dad to come with you, just say so! Dad is very happy to be able to do more with you.

Hearing Vincent’s words, Ornella’s body involuntarily softened.

His father was really nice, and his words were especially sweet. They were like the winter sun, warm and comfortable.

So she was so happy to be her father’s child. It was awesome. She could live such a happy life in the future.

She looked at Vincent seriously and nodded.

– Thank you dad. I understand.

She really wanted to tell her mom everything that happened here. His mom would probably be very happy too.

Seeing the little person in his arms become happy, Vincent’s lips curled slightly.

Even though Lucas looked a bit strange today, he was still very happy.

Lucas could already laugh, make a scene and beg like a normal child. This means he has fully recovered.

All of this is thanks to Lyana. If Lyana hadn’t accompanied Lucas and done her best to deal with his emotions, he might still be the same as before.

Thinking of Lyana, Vincent’s expression gradually turned serious. Her gaze fell on Lucas’s face. After thinking, he asked:

“Lucas, you’re no longer a child. There is one thing I want to ask your permission for.

Ornella sat up and looked at Vincent.

“Dad, what do you want to tell me?

“During this period, Aunt Lyana was by your side and took care of you. When you had a fever, she stayed by your bed.

Hearing Vincent’s words, she remembered what Brother Lucas had told her earlier.

When he first moved into the Sanchez family villa, he had a high fever. Aunt Lyana had been by his side, accompanying him, treating his illness, giving him medicine and taking care of him meticulously.

At the thought of this, Ornella nodded and said:

“Yes, dad, I remember everything.

Vincent looked at her young face, and a complicated look shone in her eyes. After a long time, he said:

“Lucas, are you ready to let Aunty Lyana take care of you and be your mother?”

In fact, she had a feeling that her father might tell her about Auntie Lyana.

She really loved Aunty Lyana.

She had also heard of Auntie Lyana from Brother Lucas. She treated her brother very well.

If Papa and Aunty Lyana were together, her mom couldn’t marry Papa.

Ornella remembered what Brother Lucas said about letting mommy and Auntie Lyana be together.

She felt it was impossible.

Her mom was still living in the slums, waiting for her to call her grandparents.

Vincent knew that this question was very difficult for Lucas, so he quietly waited for his answer.

Ornella sighed softly, her expression serious. He looked up at Vincent and asked solemnly:

“Dad, do you really love Auntie Lyana very much?”

In fact, he had already discussed this matter with Lucas, but he hadn’t been so clear.

After spending some time with Lyana and Lucas, he thought Lucas really liked Lyana.

He stared straight into Lucas’s eyes and said solemnly:

– Yes I like it.

Ornella looked at the seriousness in her father’s eyes. She still remembered Brother Lucas telling her that her father loved Aunty Lyana very much.

In fact, by that time, she had already approved of her dad and Aunty Lyana being together.From NôvelDrama.Org.

She was a very nice person and was particularly gentle with her. She wasn’t like Eric’s mother-in-law, who was very fierce with him.

Dad and Auntie Lyana seemed to have been through a lot. They could no longer leave each other.

It looked like Mom’s dream was about to be ruined.

She better tell mom as soon as possible. Thus, mom would no longer have the illusion of being with dad. Anyway, Mom still had it. She would take good care of herself for the rest of her life.

“Lucas?”

Seeing that Lucas was silent, Vincent called out shyly.

Ornella suddenly retracted. Her gaze fell on Vincent’s face and she nodded. She said excitedly,

“Of course I agree. Besides, as long as dad loves her, I have no objections.

Seeing the serious expression in Lucas’ eyes, the nervousness in Vincent’s heart gradually dissipated.

In fact, he cared a lot about Lucas’ opinion. If he didn’t agree, he could only work harder to get him to accept Lyana.

“Thank you, Lucas. Don’t worry, when I’m with your Aunt Lyana in the future, we’ll both take care of you.

A bright smile appeared on Ornella’s face. Her beautiful fox eyes twinkled as she said softly,

– Thank you dad.

Vincent’s expression dropped slightly. He didn’t understand why Lucas said that.

He should be the one to thank Lucas for this.

“Why are you thanking me?”

When he smiled when he was young, his eyes would narrow into a crescent.

“Dad is very honest with me now, and he didn’t lie to me! Other fathers lie to children.

When he heard Lucas’ words, he couldn’t help but hug him tight and say softly:

“You are my child. There should be no secrets between us.

Although he said that, he hoped he could be as innocent as the other kids and be himself easily. He didn’t have to think about so many things, nor to please others.

Would other children think of such complicated things?

After dinner, Ornella slept in Lucas’ room. She lay down on the bed and pulled out her phone to call Brother Lucas.

When the call was made, her feet kept swaying.

At that time, she really looked like a young girl.

Pure and innocent.

– Brother.

She called excitedly, her eyes were filled with smiles.

At that time, Lucas was in his pajamas. He sat on the bed and looked at the smile on her face on the phone. He couldn’t help but smile.

“Sister, were you exposed there today?”

Ornella smiled and shook her head.

“I’m so smart. Of course, I won’t let Dad find out about anything wrong.

“How did daddy treat you today?”

At that moment, the smile on Ornella’s face grew brighter and brighter. She seemed to be surrounded by bubbles of happiness.

“Dad treats me very well. I am very happy !

At that moment, a thought crossed his mind. She hastened to say:

“Brother, Dad even asked me a question today. I already answered it for you, but I think I should tell you.

– What question ?

She says :

“Dad asked me today if you were ready to let Auntie Lyana be your mom.

When he heard Ornella mention that, Lucas’ expression couldn’t help but turn serious.

His other hand squeezed the bed sheets under him. He asked nervously,

“Then how did you tell Dad?”

‘I said I agreed.

She looked at Lucas with a smile and asked:

“Brother, am I right to answer like that?”

Lucas heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

– Yes !

“Brother, am I particularly smart?” Ornella asked.

– Yes.

He looked down, his eyes dark. He didn’t dare look at Ornella. After a long moment, he cautiously asked:

“Sister, are you going to blame me?” If I refuse, mom and dad could…

When Ornella heard Lucas’ words, she quickly shook her head and said,

“Brother Lucas, what are you saying? Of course I wouldn’t blame you.

He looked at Ornella in confusion.

– For what ?

– You are my brother. Of course I will respect your choice.

She flashed a dazzling smile.

“Earlier, you told me that Mom often missed me at night. But now I want Aunt Lyana to be my mom. Today, Aunty Chiara told me that they couldn’t stay together. In other words, it’s impossible for Auntie Lyana to be with mom. If Aunt Lyana is my mom, doesn’t that mean that I’ve already betrayed our mom?

When he said that, he felt guilty. He felt that he had let down the mother who had given birth to him.
